Candid feedback you say? The number one problem I face regularly with many of the rangers materials is that they are static documents rather than websites. This means they're invisible to Google, and less useful on the various mobile devices. I can't link to a paragraph as a suggestion to do some small practice in the docs etc. I'd love to see these be web resources as well as the current document oriented resources.Anonymous
